1. Sin affects body and soul, right down to the core of our humanity. It calls for a drastic cure, for extreme measures.
  2. The outward sins we do all begin with Sin hidden in our hearts. But we cannot see that, it has to be revealed to us by a spiritual scan, an MRI from above.
  3. Jesus is taking the Law and setting it forth in such a way that we get a good look at what is going on in us.
  4. The Magnificat invites us to enter into, consider, and embrace the worldview of a teenaged Jewish girl and her geriatric aunt: The one bearing the prophet Elijah which was to come and the other carrying within her womb the God whom she and her nation worshipped and feared.
